I stopped going to ours in Roanoke when Bass Pro in Bristol opened up. Plus we have a Sportsman Warehouse in Roanoke now.

I buy most my Guns at Whitetail outfitters just out of Christiansburg or at the Salem or Roanoke gun shows these days.

Of course if you're looking to buy CZ stuff that's another issue.
